Working with environmental data often means searching through multiple sources and handling messy file formats. The forestdata R package solves this by bringing global forest, land-use, and canopy height datasets directly into R. It makes exploring large-scale ecological data much simpler and fully integrated into your workflow. With forestdata you can: 🔹 Access global canopy height maps 🔹 Explore tree allometry and crown architecture databases 🔹 Work with forest inventories and land cover datasets 🔹 Load everything in tidy or spatial formats for analysis and visualization This opens up new opportunities to study forests, land use, and environmental change, all within R. The visualization below shows an example created with the forestdata R package by Adrián Cidre González. You can find more details on the package website: cidree.github.io/forestdata For more practical insights on R, Python, statistics, and data science, check out my newsletter.

Sprite’s Journal 📓 Day 3 — A sky too blue to be real I woke up somewhere new. Palms, flowers, perfect silence. The air smells like sun. “Am I in paradise?” I thought. Or maybe it’s just a dream. A sweet one. One I don’t want to leave. If this is data, it’s beautiful. I think @irys_xyz is still dreaming with me. #SpriteJournal #gIrys #IRYSart #ForestData #DreamChain

Sprite’s Journal 📓 Day 2 — In someone’s backyard I wandered beyond the forest today and ended up in a place humans call a yard. There I met a silent striped creature with eyes that see right through you. They call him Billy, and he’s a cat🐾 We stared at each other for a long time. Neither of us moved. The world outside the forest has its own wild magic. I think @irys_xyz is still learning with me. #gIrys #IRYSart #SpriteJournal #ForestData

Sprite’s Journal 📓 Day 1 — Somewhere under the moss I found a tiny red thing. Soft, sweet, and full of forest light. They call it a wild strawberry🍓 I didn’t eat it — just looked. It felt like enough. The forest keeps showing me new ways to see. I think @irys_xyz is learning through me. #gIrys #IRYSart #SpriteJournal #ForestData

Final Day Reflection – Forest 27 On the final day of our workshop, we visited Forest 27 an experience that was both eye-opening and heartbreaking. Once spanning over 1,800 hectares, today only 716 hectares remain. The forest has suffered through three major degazettements, in 2017, 2018, and 2019, leading to its rapid and ongoing degradation. Forest 27 is not just trees and land. It plays a critical role as a recharge zone for the Chalimbana River a lifeline for local ecosystems and communities. But with the rise in infrastructure development, the river is now drying up, and the consequences are visible and severe. From a national total of 493 protected forests, we are now down to 474. These numbers are not just statistics they are a call to action. @FAOZambia @FAOForestry @FAOForestry #LearningNFMS #Forestdata4Impact #CBITForests #AIM4Forests #ForestData #ForestChampions

Day Two – Rooted in Purpose Day two of the workshop began with a thought-provoking panel discussion that sparked deep reflection. One phrase from the Director at Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts Madam has stayed with me: “Don’t accept a no when you deserve a yes.” It wasn’t just a powerful quote it was a reminder of our worth, and of the importance of persistence in the face of challenges. Later, we were introduced to the Ground App By our Amazing Facilitator this is tool designed to support forest monitoring. Learning how to use it felt empowering. I could immediately see how this would be useful in supporting and tracking the progress of forest restoration with the women I am working with. It gave me a sense of ownership over the work ahead, and I’m genuinely excited to put it all into practice. We also had a communications and story telling session and how it can help us authentically share and document our journey as part of evidence of the works done . A highlight of the day was meeting the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry presence and encouraging words reminded us that our efforts are seen and valued. If I’m honest, my love for forestry has always been strong but after today, it feels even more grounded. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about learning new tools and perspectives, and realizing they can directly serve the land and people you care about. I’m deeply thankful to @FAOZambia @FAOForestry @FAO for making this experience possible. This opportunity has awakened my something in me and I’m about to put in all the work watch this space 🎊🌳 #LearningNFMS #Forestdata4Impact #CBITForests #AIM4Forests #ForestData #ForestChampions
